Application area February 20,1913. Serial No. 749,692.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, ERNEST L. REYNOLDS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Ardmore, in the county of Carter and State of ()klahoma, have invented a new and useful Fluid-i-lydrocarbon Burner, of which I the following is a specification.

The present invention relates to improvements in fluid hydrocarbon burners, one obj ect of the present invention being the pro vision of a simple form of burner, which is especially adapted for domestic use for introduction within cooking ranges or other stoves, and whereby a heavy or a light oil may be used.

With the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction her inafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed can be made within the scope of what is claimed without departing from the spirit of the invention.

in the drawings Figure 1 is a vertical central sectional view through the complete burner, the induction pipe and valve being shown in elevation. Fig. 2 is a cross section taken on line 2-42 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a cross section taken on line 3-3 of Fig. 1. Fig. 4- is a view illustrating a modified form of induction nozzle or et.

Referring to the drawings, the numeral 1 designates a tubular cylinder, which may be made integral or in separate parts, and is adapted to be disposed above a drip pan 2, so that any surplus oil will flow therein, and yet not interfere with the draft through the member 1. Formed about the member 1 intermediate of its ends is an oil conducting annular chamber 3, which is in communication at all times with the valve controlled oil supply pipe 4:. \Vhere the oil is a light oil, the same will be fed by gravity into the annular chamber 3 and where the same is a crude or heavy oil, the same may be fed under pressure as is found necessary.

There is formed in the member 1 adjacent and concentric to the chamber 3, the recess 5, which provides the lip 6 for the direction of the sprayed oil from the radially dis posed inwardly discharging nozzles or jets 7, there being four shown in the present instance, although any number may be employed. The inner Wall of the recess 5 I tapers u pwardly as shown, while the inner wall of the projecting portion 6 terminates in the same circumferential line as the inner circumference of the tubular member 1.

From the foregoing description, taken in connection with the drawings, it is evident that an exceedingly simple and durable domestic burner is provided, the same consisting of few parts and presenting its nozzles 7, so that the same may be readily cleaned and kept freely open at all times for the proper passage of the oil therethrough.

In use, the member 1 is disposed vertically, as shown in Fig. 1, and the oil is permitted to flow so as to partially or entirely fill the recess 5 and a greasy saturated waste or paper is placed within the pan 2 below the lower end of the member 1 and ignited. When the oil within the recess 5 is properly ignited, the valve or conduit 4 is opened to properly permit of the introduction of the sprays of oil through the nozzles 7 to be properly gasified and ignited within the bore of the tubular member 1 so that the flame therefrom. will be directed to the up per end, as is clearly evident. The nozzles 7 may also be inclined upwardly so as to insure the proper direction of the flame and create to a great extent the proper draft for drawing into the lower end suficient air to supply the necessary oxygen to produce a blue flame, all as is illustrated in Fig. 4.

The recess 5 provides a means under ordinary circumstances to retain any drip from the nozzles or ets 'i, and prevents the passage thereof into the drip pan 2, and also provides to a great extent the vaporizing chamber for the oil during the operation of the burner as the complete body 1 is heated as well as the annular chamber 3 by the burning of gasified oil.

The present device is readily applied Within the combustion chamber of a range or other domestic stove, and being of simple construction, the same is readily installed and as before stated kept in working cond1- tion.

What is claimed is:

1. A fluid hydrocarbon burner, including a vertically disposed tubular member provided intermediate of its ends with an internal fluid receiving recess provided with an upwardly inclined mouth disposed entirely within the walls of the member, and an oil distributing chamber embracing the member adjacent the recess and provided wlth a plu- CESS- rality of jet apertures in communication With the interior of the member at points above the lower rim of and Within the rea relatively Wide mouth thereto, and an oil distributing chamber encircling the member ad acent the recess and havlng a plurality of jet apertures leading therefrom through the Wall of the tubular member and terminating through the inclined Wall of the recess.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto afiixed my signature in the presence of two Witnesses.
